​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Kindergarten Enrollment

Rockwood offers full-day, tuition-free kindergarten​. Children must be five years old before Aug. 1, 2019, to begin kindergarten in the fall.

Each January, Rockwood elementary schools host special kindergarten enrollment events for families​. If you miss these events in January, please contact your elementary school at your earliest convenience. ​​​

How do you wish to enroll your student(s)?

Rockwood parents must have an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account to enroll a new student via the online application. If you do not have an Infinite Campus Parent Portal account, please contact your child's school. If you have forgotten your username and/or password, email Infin​ite Campus Help Desk at portalhelp@rsdmo.org.

Other Important Questions

​Children must be five years old by July 31 to enter kindergarten.​

Screening is one way to check your child’s ability to perform specific age appropriate skills. We use the Developmental Tasks for Kindergarten Readiness-II (DTKR-II) to assess across domains: Acquired Knowledge, Verbal/Conceptual Skills, Visual Skills, Social Development, and Hearing/Vision.

A kindergarten teacher or school representative will review results of the screening with families and address any questions or concerns.

This is a FREE service provided to our Rockwood students (Age 5 by July 31, 2019).

Please allow 1 ½ hours for completion of the screening, hearing/vision assessment, and review results with the kindergarten teacher or school representative.
